NUC Suspends Licences of 7 private Universities
Thursday, July 05, 2012Omoba
The National Universities Commission has on Wednesday suspended the
operational licenses of seven private universities for allegedly not meeting up
to its set targets on school facilities and academic programmes as established
by the NUC.
The
suspended universities are Lead City, Caritas,
Joseph Ayo Babalola, Tansian, Madonna, Achievers and Obong.
Confirming
this development to news men, Mallam Ibrahim Yakassai, The Director of
Press and Public Relations of NUC said in a telephone conversation on Wednesday
night that the suspension of the licenses of the affected schools was
imperative in order to continually work on the current standard of Nigerian
Universities.
A
top NUC official who had pleaded anonymity had affirmed that the decision of
the NUC became unavoidably important considering that most of the private
Universities have failed to lived up to the guidelines stipulated by the NUC in
the running of Universities in Nigeria.
“The operators of
the universities affected know their offences because so many times, we have
informed them about their failings but they did not take necessary steps to
address their shortcomings. Anyway, It’s just a suspension and it will be
lifted as soon as they do the correct things,”
the sourced said.
